New Year's Day Ride: All Are Invited! (80, 66, or 48 mile options)

Let's kick off the New Year in style, doing what we love! Please join me on a road ride around and over the Santa Monica Mountains this Tuesday, January 1, 2013! There are three possible starting points and times, so your route can be 80 miles, or about 62 miles, or about 48 miles. This is an excellent route with a nice, easy first 1/2 to 2/3 and then a goodly amount of climbing in the final 3rd, up, along, and over the Santa Monica Mountains. (Got a steel bike? Ride it! Even better if it's a classic steel bike!)

Here's the schedule and route options:

80-mile route: Start / Finish in Woodland Hills (Map of Route, as above)
